Unknown Caller - Episode 2
by Tamara Mataya
Who is that in the picture?
Feigning ignorance is technically lying…
Try again.
Why are you showing me this picture?
Let’s talk about how you knew that girl instead.
The girl in the photograph?
Cut the act.
You knew her.
And the last time you saw her was on Halloween night two years ago.
How did you know that?
And why do you care about some woman in a picture?
You know why.
Now I want you to say her name.
Say. Her. Name.
I won’t ask again.
Don’t play dumb!
Violet.
That’s a picture of Violet.
Good girl. Doesn’t it feel better to stop pretending you have no idea who she is?
Of course I know who she is.
I never said I didn’t.
You got me on a technicality.
Look, I’m not her, if that’s what you’re thinking.
I’m not Violet in the witness protection program or something.
Are you some kind of stalker trying to track her down?
Because if so, I don’t know where she is.
We can call it a night right now.
You don’t know where she is?
I don’t! And I’m not her, if that’s your game.
You think I’m Violet and moved and changed my name to Kelly.
And you’re trying to make me admit I’m her.
You’re wrong. I’M NOT HER.
Game over!
Oh, this isn’t a case of mistaken identity.
I know you’re not Violet.
Screw you! I’m done with this!
I think I preferred it when you were flirting with me.
I wasn’t flirting.
MAYBE THAT WAS YOUR MISTAKE
Elaborate on how you knew Violet.
I like stories.
We went to school together. College.
Go on. You went to college with Violet.
Yes.
You’re terrible at storytelling. DETAILS!
We went to school together back East.
Until…?
A couple years ago. I graduated and moved away.
No.
What? That’s the truth.
I thought you wanted the truth, not stories?
I like TRUE stories. Even on Halloween.
Especially on Halloween.
You went to college with her…until she went MISSING.
And we both know she was more to you than some chick you went to school with.
A lot of people knew her. She was popular.
You’re deflecting. Stop pretending you don’t know her.
There will be consequences if you continue to lie.
I’m calling the police!
No, you’re not.
You wouldn’t be that stupid.
You…why does it matter if I knew her? Who is she to you?
Ah, that’s two questions. I’ll answer the first.
Motive.
What does that even mean?
Nope. My turn. How well did you know Violet?
We were roommates.
And?
You don’t sleep in a tiny room with someone for a year without getting close.
We hung out.
Kelly…
We were friends.
How good of friends would you say you were?
We were…I wanted to be her best friend.
Interesting that you’d say that.
When did you first realize that you wanted Violet to be your bestie?
I don’t know. We just started talking.
No, there was ONE night that changed things.
October 31, when someone dumped you.
Jarod. She dried my tears, we dressed up and went out.
To a costume party Violet knew about.
And?
And we danced. And drank.
How do you know this?
I told you. I know everything.
And no, this isn’t Jarod.
Say thank you. I gave you that for free.
Thank you.
Would you say your relationship was defined by that night?
With her taking care of you, drawing you into her circle of friends?
Having you tag along?
I suppose so, yes. Until that night, she’d never really had time for me.
And that made you angry.
I didn’t like it when she ignored me, but whatever.
You were jealous of her.
Yes. Everyone loved her.
Did you come to care for her?
Or were you just pretending you liked her
Yes. Yes I CARED, I never pretended about that!
You seemed to care about a lot of people that night.
Especially the guys.
It was a party on Halloween!
I was being friendly.
I know.
I was there.
What?!
You dressed as a cat and wore a skimpy black top.
And a sexy white wig.
All the guys’ eyes were on you.
And you loved it.
WHO ARE YOU?!
That’s what you’re supposed to be figuring out.
Before I lose my patience.
I’m calling the police.
If you called them, I’d…
Actually, go ahead.
Call the police. I’m sure they’d love to hear your confession.
I didn’t do anything!
LIAR
I swear.
You’ve got me confused with someone else.
That’s another lie.
Have you ever seen a dead body?
I’ll bet you have.
Recognize this photograph?
I’ll give you a hint…
It was taken the night Violet went missing.
How did you get this picture?
If you contact anyone else in any way
I will tell EVERYONE what you did.
I’ll tell everyone
Please don’t
You killed her.
